By "pupils", do you mean students? Or eyes? Or perhaps the students' eyes?

Unfortunately, the Write activity hardcodes those values. Fortunately, they are coded in the toolbar.py file.

(All of the below steps are done in a Terminal shell, with 'sudo' permissions.)1) First, find your Write.activity directory. Depending on which version you have, they may be in different places. so I can't really help you there. If you really can't find it, try to "find" it

Change that value to the font name of your choice. Be sure to be careful about capitalization and spaces.

Yes, you will have to do this for each XO, and you will have to do this each time you do an update. Unfortunately these settings were not designed as configurable items. If you would like to make a feature request, we can start by going to the OLPC's Write Activity page. There we see that it is maintained by Sugarlabs. Finally, we can find their bugtracker at http://dev.sugarlabs.org/. I imagine that from here, you can create an account and log an "enhancement" bug to request that they add this feature to be configurable, as opposed to hard coded.

ROTFLO!!

Thank you very much for your replies. We will try the 'per XO' option. But, more important, we will use your suggestion to ask for a feature at Sugarlabs. In a primary shcool in the Netherlands, no reading method uses a serif font. As you can imagine, it's too complicated to set font and size individually, every time the XO is used. IMHO this feature is also important for other countries.Thanks again for your help,kind regards,Dirk
